Don’t rush it. Body-builders don’t train in a day – neither does a child.

And most important ofall, HAVE FUN!

Read the book WITH your child. You read the “regular” text, and he/she reads the big, red words, sort of like reading the different parts in a play.

Help your child sound out the words as needed.

Read the book several times. This helps develop the eye muscles and left-to-right reading patterns.

Dan just waved – his bheadphones were on, band the radio was playing bhis favorite song. b

15

“Hey, deer!” said .ted“You have to stop!” b

16

And Dan thought the bbear was dancing too, bso he smiled at tedand said, “Whoo, hoo!” b

17

ted ran at Dan to

punch him in the nose. bHe did not see the rock bthat tripped his toes. b

18

went flying tedthrough the air – ba whirling, twirling bteddy bear. b

19

ted landed in

a bush with a bthump and a yelp. b

yelp!

20

His fancy, schmancy bpants landed bsomewhere else. b

21

“Oh, no!” thought . ted“I must get my pants. bNo one can see bme – no they can’t!” b

22

So when edran over to help bhis friend, b

23

ted ed said, “ !

Who are those bcrazy men?” b

24

“What men? Where?”

25

...as hid ted bbehind a bigger, b

bbetter boulder.

A boulder is a large rock.26

“Where did he go?” bDan said to ...ed

27

Dan jumped out, b“Hey! Do you want bto dance?” b

30

ted screamed in

surprise... “I don’t bknow... maybe later... b

In his hurry, b got it ted

all wrong. b

34

ed ted said, “ ,

bsay, “I can’t.”
